I'm still pretty new to all these advances coils. I've heard most of them are just for show, but i want to try them and understand them just for the fun of it. Just hobby playing around.

I have a set of multi-starnds fused clapton coils, 2-28/9-38/36. Does that mean there are 9-38g wires, with 2-28g wires on the outside of the previous (it doesn't say framed), then claptonized with 36g?

I'm sure you guys get a lot of this, so thank for any help.

That doesn't make any sense. Who made the wire? Where is it from?

By the way you stated it, it sounds like there is a 28g wire then nine 38g wires followed by another single 28g wire, all laying side by side. Then it was claptoned with a 36g wire to bind it all together. But without an answer to @Don29palms question that is just my assumption.

If that is what that wire is it would be a nightmare to try and make.

What I said above is exactly what they are saying is done with those coils. Sure wouldn't want to build them, but kind of interested in their performance.

Here is a pic of the same wire build. The 28g is on the outsides of the nine 38g wires then wrapped in the 36g wires. May not claim to be a framed coil, but manufacturers get the wire names wrong all the time.

You're right. That's exactly what they are. I'm curious to hear how they perform.
